API

🔖 Feature description

It would be great to have an API call which returns a JSON structure containing at least the number of monitors in error and possibly the total number of monitors and/or the number that have been in error in a defined period.
The use I have for this is integrating it with the conky desktop information application which would allow an fast report right on the desktop for failures

✔️ Solution

host:port/api/status/all returning a JSON structure with the information

❓ Alternatives

I've thought of writing a Python script to loop through all possible monitor numbers but that would be bandwidth and resource intensive when polling significant numbers of monitors, also the numbers may not be co-linear?

Hi, I'm not quite sure it's a duplicate, what I'm looking for is a bit more simple than a big change.
My solution was a script to scrape the metrics:

#!/usr/bin/bash

TEMP_FILE=mktemp
PASS_COL='${color green}'
FAIL_COL='${color grey}'

wget --user USERNAME --password 'PASSWORD' -qO $TEMP_FILE http://X.X.X.X:3001/metrics
PASS=$(cat $TEMP_FILE | egrep -c "^monitor_status.*1$")
FAIL=$(cat $TEMP_FILE | egrep -c "^monitor_status.*0$")
END_STRING='${color}Down'

if [ $FAIL -gt 0 ] 
then
    FAIL_COL='${color red}${blink ${lua_parse iconmap 11 3 ${template0}} '
    END_STRING='Down}${color}'
fi

echo $PASS_COL$PASS '${color}Up -' $FAIL_COL$FAIL $END_STRING
rm $TEMP_FILE
